Using Sports Science for a Stronger, Healthier Voice

In this episode of Vocal Tips in 10, I’m joined by Australian voice physiotherapist Selina Tannenberg for a powerful conversation on vocal load management—and why thinking like a vocal athlete can change everything for your singing.

We dig into how concepts from sports science can help singers prevent vocal fatigue and injury, build vocal stamina, and sing stronger for longer. Selina breaks down what vocal load actually is, how to track it, and the small but effective shifts that can keep your voice in top form. If you’ve ever wondered how to train smarter, not just harder, this one’s a must-listen.

🎧 Tune in for expert tips and practical takeaways to help you stay healthy, resilient, and ready to perform.
